Re^3: Converting PDF file to text

Most likely the version of Java on your web server does not work with the version of Java the Tika JAR file requires. I can't help you there.

I'm sorry that the synopsis of Apache::Tika::Async is broken - it should look like the following, but it seems I never released that fix onto CPAN:

    use Apache::Tika::Async;

    my $tika= Apache::Tika::Async->new;

    my $fn= shift;

    use Data::Dumper;
    my $info = $tika->get_all( $fn );
    print Dumper $info->meta($fn);
    print $info->content($fn);
    # <html><body>...
    print $info->meta->{"meta:language"};
    # en
[download]

But all of this is in vain if the Tika executable won't start.

Update: I've now published the Git repository of the module, which contains some fixes I should also release soonish.
